SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 550,876, dated December 3, 1895.

Application filed February 20, 1894, Serial No. 500,891. (No model.)

To aZl'whom itmay concern.-

Be it. known that I, CHARLES ENGERT, of

Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Ghimney, of whichthe following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in chimneys; and the object of-my invention is to produce a cheap substitutefor the ordinary brick-and-mortar chimney, which may be very rapidly placed in position in a building, which may be conveniently cleaned out,

which is constructed in such a waythat there is little danger of imperfect joints through which smoke and fire can pass, which has auxiliary flues, in connection with the stove-holes, arranged in such-a way as to promote a goodtions of parts, which will be hereinafter described and claimed. 7

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification,

in which similar figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a chimney embodying my invention as applied to abuilding, the floors and roof of the latter being shown. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail View, partly in section, showing the arrangement of the chimney at its j unction with the roof. Fig. 3 is a plan view of one of the chimney-sec tions. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section on the line i 4 of Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a plan view of one of the chimney-sections in which a stovehole and flue are located. Fig. 6 is a front elevation of a chimney-section having another and modified arrangement of the stove-hole and flue; and Fig. 7 is a broken side elevation, partly in section, of the chimney-section illustrated in Fig. (3.

The chimney is made up of a series of sections 10, 10 10", and 10, which are substantially alike, except that the sections 10 and 10 show means of connecting with a stovefunnel and the section 10 has provision for connecting withthe tin sheathing of a roof to prevent leakage. The section 10 may be of any necessary length or size, the lower section being preferably. long enough to reach from the basement floor to the floor above, and these sections are made after the manner of drain-pipes, of clay or other suitable material, each section having an inner wall 11, which forms the smoke-fine, this wall projecting' slightly above the outer wall at the top and extending not quite .down to "the plane of the lower edge of the outer wall at the bottom, as illustrated in Figs. 4 and 7,

and this arrangement enables the sections to be easily joined one to the other, as the inner wall of one willfit into the next section and abut with the inner wall of said section.

The several sections are secured together which provides for've'ntiiating the basement 7 or cellar, aswill'appear below, .and which also acts as a safeguard to prevent smoke from possibly passing through an imperfect joint into the building, as the draft, which passes upward through the hollow wall or flue, takes upward any smoke which may enter from the main flue.'

The lower section 10 of the chimney is provided with holes 13, which extend through to the inner or main flue and through which the soot, which accumulates in the chimney, may

be removed, the drawings showing two of these holes, although a greater or less number may be provided. The lower section is also provided with perforations 14, which extend through the outer wall only, andthe upper section 10 of the chimney, which is placed above the roof, is provided. with similar perforations 15, and thus the foul air in the cellar may pass through the lower perforations into the side flues between the walls of the chimney and thence upward and out through the perforations 15.

The section, 10 is adapted to connect with the funnel of a stove or other heater, and to this end is provided with a projecting front 16, in one side of which is an opening 17, connecting with an inner auxiliary flue 1.8, which leads inward and upward, as shown clearly in Fig. 4, delivering into the vmain flue of the chimney, and this arrangement prevents the auxiliary flue from interfering with the draft of any auxiliary fines below. Instead of providing for a side entrance to the chimney, as just described, a section, such as may be provided with a projection19, having a hole in front, which permits a funnel to enter it and connect with an auxiliary flue 20 like the flue 18 already described. The top section 10 or the section which is nearest the roof is provided on its outside with a flange 21, which projects outward and downward, so that the tin sheathing 22 on the roof 23 may be turned up beneath the flange and a per- ,fectly tight joint thus made.

It will be seen from the above description that this chimney may be very quickly built,

that its walls are double, that the sections break joints in such a manner that there is little likelihood of an imperfect joint through which fire and smoke may pass, and that the chimney provides for efficiently ventilating the cellar or basement of the building in which it is located.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A chimney section comprising inner and outer walls joined together by transverse ribs,

the said outer Wall having a lateral tubular opening, and an auxiliary flue having a por-- tion extended into said tubular opening and another portion extended inward and upward and communicating with the flue within the inner wall, substantially as specified.

2. A chimney section comprising inner and outer Walls joined together by transverse ribs, the said outer wall having alateral projection provided with a lateral opening and the auxiliary flue leading from said opening through the lateral projection and communicating with the interior of the main flue or inner wall, there being a space between the inner surface of the lateral projection and the outer surface of the auxiliary flue, substantially as specified.
